Maintaining your website goes far beyond just dusting it off and removing broken links. One of the goals of your website is to rank highly in the search engine results listings. Google is constantly updating its algorithms to improve customer services, weed out spam rankings and keep up with the speed of technology. Your website needs to keep up too. Old coding can be replaced with new faster coding to come into compliance with Google’s new speed requirements. Cleaner navigation systems can be installed. And of course, in bound and out bound links still need to be checked for accuracy. Your site may need to be re-optimized if Google’s standards have changed. All of these chores are a must to just keep your website from falling behind that of the competition. Internet marketing companies, like statusboom, are available to help you with your website housekeeping.
